Banana Bread

Raspberry Bananas Foster Sauce

Method

Making the Banana Bread

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  2. 2

    Mash the Bananas

    In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, black sesame seeds, baking soda, and salt.

  4. 4

    Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool

    Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Raspberry Bananas Foster Sauce

  1. 8

    Melt the Butter

    Stir in the brown sugar and allow it to dissolve. Add in the raspberries and sliced banana and cook until the raspberries break down, about 5 minutes.

  3. 10

    Add Rum and Season

    Carefully add the dark rum and cinnamon, and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 11

    Finish with Vanilla

    Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
